Creating A Map For Begginers - (very Image Heavy)

[Lauryxy]

Why does my map look like this after generating the low detail texture.

Before generating low detail texture there was no texture at all further away.

First map I made was fine, but second and third(this) time this happened.

Looks like you are missing your colormaps. Generate them with tpaint and copy them into your maps editor folder. Or, if you are feeling adventurous, you can hand paint them.

Hey guys, first off this tutorial is great, but I ran into a problem. Whenever I go to generate the low detailmap, I have the same problem as Lauryxy, I recieve those checker boxes on my map. I tried using tpaint and copying the folders, but I looked inside the colormaps and detail maps folders and their is nothing in them after i run tpaint, is this normal?? I would appreciate any help guys

No, it sounds as if TPaint didn't find the map. Did you really follow the instructions and copied the whole BF2_Tpaint folder into your map and ran it from there ? If you're a Vista or Win7 user check the permissions and allow Tpaint to create files in its folder.
